Elizza looked at her new school in disgust. The beach was close, that was the only exciting part of the whole idea. Oh yea, and she wouldn't have to deal with annoying, perfect, pestering, worry-butt- well her parents. She smirked looking back at the small black Ford driving away. It was strange for a moment, standing there staring at the place. Her new home. Elizza thought a moment, shifting her weight to one hip holding her two small bags of things and blue and cream colored surf board. She bolted for the beach not looking back at the preparatory. She was free!

Elizza felt the sand was warm on her toes. She continued along and dropped her things on a patch of sand. She tore off her shirt and ran for the blue ocean. North California. The perfect place, always had been. Now she was even closer to the ocean. This meant more surf and relaxing and reading time. If only she could come more often. There still was school...

It was already two weeks into the school year. Elizza had missed so much. It didn't concern her, only her parents were worried as usual. Elizza had to catch up fast but she decided she'd find someone to help or her roommate, whoever it would be. All she thought about was the ocean.

She started to swim holding onto her board. Sure the tide wasn't all that great but Elizza hadn't been in those waters in forever. At least it seemed that long. She paddled herself far enough out to stand steady on her board. It was so great she started to smile, shaking her hair out and following a wave.

Taken back to shore, Elizza slumped out of the water onto the wet sand. Her shorts were soaked, it didn't bother her much, it was warm enough for her to lay out and let them dry a little before facing her new home.

Elizza laid out on one of her blankets her mother had made for her onto the dry sand. She plopped herself down and laid down, her hands wringing out her hair and avoiding the sand. Elizza relaxed her arms and closed her eyes listening to the waves crash into the land.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] Every beat of my heart is killing me slow. Love me to pieces. The Words: 722 (I think I went a bit overboard hehe) The Outfit: clicky The Notes yoooooo Lyrics Love Me to Pieces- Eric Hassle Julian sat, comfortable and content in his favorite spot on the beach. It was secluded, was quiet and barely anyone knew of it as far as he knew......or at least didn't bother to make the trek all the way up there. Most would suntan, like typical beach goers. Not that he minded though. This was usually where he came to clear his head when his twin wasn't around to vent to, and it was great for taking pictures. It was how he had originally found the place. He had honestly missed the small diving cliff overlooking the water (just a small ways down the coastline) while he was in New York. That city was........ different. It was foggy to him, everyone was yellling at each other, eager to get where they needed to go, and the only noise he could hear had been the blaring of car horns. And the snow, he shuddered; the cold white blanket that never failed to cover the streets and frustrate people even further. He had missed the feeling of the sun on his back, Julian concluded then. No matter how long he had been back for, he couldn't get enough of the feeling. He rolled his eyes up to look at the clear sky, sighing gently. He often found himself spending way to much time here ever since he got back. His thoughts just seemed to float and drift like the ocean, time ticking away until he realized it was already the evening and his sister had tracked him down all the way here to get him for dinner. He hadn't used to do that, but his time in New York had changed him, although he wasn't ever going to admit that to anyone. Not ever. Admitting it would be to admit he had been duped and broken even more than he was willing to tell anyone. His shoulders slumped at the thought, and he looked away from the sky to his wrist. Take Heart......note to self. Sometimes he had to remind himself to do that; to move on, look to tomorrow, all of that cheesy peptalk. Looking out at the ocean again, Julian stretched. He bet he had already spent half an hour here just thinking. He had come here to take some pictures for class, but even after he returned his camera to his bag on the beach he had been drawn back up here. It was probably a good thing he had taken off for lunch, despite the invites by some of his female classmates to join them (which on another day would have been more than happy to oblige), and the fact he had a spare period following it. He would've been late for class otherwise. At least he got some good shots as he reviewed the film, even one of a surfer in the water. Now that was something he didn't see every day. And it was a girl to boot. Hm, interesting. Julian couldn't help but smile to himself. Standing up, he decided he should be getting back, he had spent a bit too much time feeling sorry for himself. Looking over the edge of the cliff, he considered walking his way back down. But what fun would that be? Looking down at the water, he dove in, swimming his way to shore. As he got out of the water a couple minutes later, he shook out his now wet brown hair, some strands falling onto his forehead. Okay, maybe that wasn't such a good idea. But at least it was sunny, and he could always take the couple minute walk home to change if needed so he wouldn't be late for class. The perks of living on the beach, basically. Making his way over to his bag, set beside Elizza, he rummaged around for a towel, though Julian doubted he had been so prepared as to bring one. Noppeee......oh well. He peered into his bag for a couple more minutes, willing for a towel to magically appear in it before noticing the girl beside him, giving her a quick side glance before looking away again. The surfer from before? He' be damned if it was. Things had just gotten a whole lot more interesting. created by ADE! Pb-ified by WILL

Elizza laid there on the blanket her wrists resting on her forehead and her eyes closed. Staying like that for quite a while she was able to let everything go, block out the world as if the reason she was here wasn't for school. Elizza thought a moment. She didn't necessarily have to go to school that day. Skipping all her classes and not even showing up the first day, what could be the problem? No one would know she even arrived. Unless her mother called in to make sure. Though maybe she would call Elizza's cell instead. But knowing her mother, she would make things a lot more difficult for herself.

The sun was out but not doing much to her soaking wet shorts. She still had her bags and everything with her but she didn't think of changing just yet. Maybe on her way to wherever she can go to avoid the prep school. The sound of the smooth waves overpowered everything around her. Elizza heard something beside her, though it was very faint. She opened her eyes and looked to her side. A very nice looking boy kneels beside her with a bag. She squints at him a bit, shielding her eyes from the sun with her hands.

Elizza wondered whether to say something or not. It didn't take that long to decide, however. The guy was toned to perfection and had obliviously been in the water because loose wet strands of his hair fell onto his forehead. "Um, Hi?" Elizza didn't sit up or anything for the guy, only stayed lying down watching him. Can't really pass up an opportunity to speak to someone anymore, this was her chance to meet new people without her mother or father freaking out about who she hung out with.

Elizza glanced around and noticed he had a tattoo reading Take Heart on his wrist. She was able to see it at her angle and a smirk crossed her face. "What's that mean?" She asked gesturing toward his wrist but looked him in the eye, still squinting. Her hands didn't do the best job shading her face. She was curious. Why not ask!

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] Every beat of my heart is killing me slow. Love me to pieces. The Words: 328 The Outfit: clicky The Notes yoooooo Lyrics Love Me to Pieces- Eric Hassle Julian glanced to his side again as he heard a voice addressing him. "Um, hi yourself," he chuckled lightly, one of his charming smiles gracing his lips. He stopped going through his bag then. He knew nothing useful was really in there (and no, textbooks didn't count) and now this rather pretty girl had his attention. He had always had a thing for blonds.....then again he had a thing for a lot of different types. He noticed her watching him and he couldn't help but smile mentally to himself, a small twinkling glint coming into his eye. Though as he saw he squinting he guessed the sun must be in her eyes, so, being courteous he sat down by her side, directing her gaze away from it. Julian sat silent for a moment, wondering what exactly she was staring at then, when she asked him about his tattoo. He had gotten it a couple months after he returned home and started going to Kingswood, and sure, he had gotten quite a couple questions about it, from the curious, or just people trying to make conversation, but most of the time he would have rather avoided that particular topic. Despite its meaning, it still brought him back to that less than great time in his life. For a second, his eyes seemed to melt from the mischievous glint to a soft vulnerability, but for a second only, before he composed himself. That had been close. It was one of the only things that usually caught him off guard, bringing out the person he used to be. "Hm? Oh, look to tomorrow, take things day to day, personal motto, that sort of stuff," he replied vaguely, brushing off the subject with a shrug of his shoulders. "But what I'm more interested in," he returned her gaze, "is your name." He smiled again. Noting the bags sprawled out around her he tilted his head, curious. "I'm guessing you're new here?" created by ADE! Pb-ified by WILL

Elizza listened well as he explained the tattoo. She only frowned, the answer was quite vague and it took her a while to partly understand, after all it was personal. Shrugging it off she moved her hands through her hair, she was glad she didn't have to look near the sun anymore. Elizza took her eyes off the guy that had settled himself beside her. She had always been interested in why some people, around her age of course, decide to get tattoos or anything like that. She never really had a great reason, kind of just did it because, to show her parents she could really do what she wanted whether they said to or not. Wasn't the best way to go, however, her parents are too caught up in their perfect life to really live up to their threats. It's given her leeway.

The guy spoke again and brought her attention back to him. He asked her name and if she was new. It was quite obvious with the random bags lying around her, but she answered anyway. Proping herself up with her forearms she said, “Yup, just came today. Starting at Kingswood today anyway, well tomorrow. I don't really feel up to going just yet. That's why I came here first.” Elizza eyed him again and smirked, noticing his bright smile. “Why so interested in my name? Nothing real great about a name.” She began to sit up so she could sit cross legged, almost looking back at the guy who had surprisingly accompanied her.

The Words: 271 The Outfit: clicky The Notes Ahaha no worries XD Lyrics Love Me to Pieces- Eric Hassle Julian was glad she didn't look to much into his reasoning. His parents hadn't really asked either. Some might think they gave too much freedom to their children, but he and his twin were pretty responsible for teenagers. Truly, his twin had given him the idea about getting the tattoo. Maybe he'd explain it better some other time, when he knew Elizza better at least. He didn't even have her name yet, and he would definitely like to get to know her. She was different than some of the other girls at school, sort of a breath of fresh air. Seeming amused by her answer, he chuckled lightly again. "I don't blame you. That place can really run you dry sometimes....." he looked up at the building that was his school through the sunny haze. It was definitely a great school, but he was surprised half the student body didn't have mental breakdowns by at least the second semester. It was a lot to take on. He could barely understand how his sister managed to do it. Then again, she was definitely prone to her mental breakdowns. Breaking out of his thoughts he looked at the girl that was now sitting upright across from him, smirking at him. Now that was an answer that he didn't hear every day. He couldn't help but return her smirk. "Well, it'd be nice to know for someone who started off with a pretty personal question.....and besides, if you don't, I may just start calling you whatever I feel like," he added smugly, though seeming nonchalant about it with another shrug of his shoulders. created by ADE!

Elizza thought a moment, letting her gaze fall to the sand. Was the school difficult? She didn't want to ask, but only wondered whether the work load was much. She couldn't flunk or skip out this time around or she'd have to move to yet another school and that was the last thing she wanted to do. Moving from school to school has really been a pain with making friends and all, and she never really kept many. And she definitely didn't want to leave a school where there were no parents, cute guys, and a beach just across the way. Pretty perfect except the school portion.

Elizza was glad, at least, that he hadn't tried to persuade her to start at Kingswood today. He understood, but she wasn't sure if he understood fully. Although, she ignored it and listened to his answer. It wasn't the usual answer and she just then realized the personal question she had asked. She figured it was a logical question. Letting out a little laugh she replied, "Okay then, what are you going to call me then?" She was interested to see what he could come up with that wasn't cliche due to her blonde hair.

The Words: 177 The Outfit: clicky The Notes Gaaah sorry this is so short XD Lyrics Love Me to Pieces- Eric Hassle Julian peered at her as she looked away, tilting his head, noting her expression. Had he frightened her that much about the school? "I wouldn't worry too much about it, everyone adapts eventually. Besides, too many people there are workaholics, and I'm somehow managing so....." he shrugged simply. "If you'd like, I could even show you around the place sometime?" he asked with now a genuine, sweet smile. He knew how awful feeling lost was like, and he'd hate to see someone go through the same thing. He leaned back on his arms then, looking up at the sky, seeming to think for a few moments. "Um........" he began, then looked at her with a smirk. "How about.....princess? Sweetheart? Darling? No?...." he suggested, though it was obvious he was teasing her, trying to make the most awful choices to coax her actual name out of her. "You really aren't giving me much to go off here.....help a guy out?" he asked, looking her in the eyes with a barely there pout on his lips. created by ADE! Pb-ified by WILL

Elizza looked at him as he offered to show her around. She nodded her head considering it, "Yea, that'd be cool." She gave him a smile before checking to see if her shorts were still wet. And they were, quite damp. Elizza then regretted not taking the time to take them off before going into the water. "Oh, and I just don't want to be noticed too much cause then they'll put me in class right then and I'm just... not yet." She laughed and shook her head. It probably made no sense to him but she didn't care too much. She was kind of thinking out loud anyway. "Just ignore the comment."

Elizza was overly amused by his response. She smiled as he looked her in the eye and laughed a little before giving in. "God no, none of those! I'm Elizza." She pursed her lips at the sound of her own name, though still with a slight smirk across her face. She scooted so she could face him more without having to turn her head to her side. Tilting her head she asked, "And your name?"

The Words: 212 The Outfit: clicky The Notes Lyrics Love Me to Pieces- Eric Hassle "Awesome. Just let me know when,........sweetheart," Julian returned the smile, but he couldn't help but tease her just a little bit more. It was too good to pass up. He tried to understand her as she rambled off, but failing horribly, he guessed he wouldn't question her logic. It would save him quite the bit of work, and she wasn't making too big a deal of it anyway. Besides, she was quite adamant about not going to school that day, and who was he to tell her no? "Fair enough," he shrugged. "I'm not your parent after all," he chuckled. His smile seemed smug and a bit triumphant as she finally gave up her stance on remaining nameless. "Ah, now that wasn't so hard, was it?" he asked with a tilt of his head. "Elizza, huh?......A pleasure to meet you....finally," he replied with a bit of a laugh, followed by another kind smile. "I'm Julian." Well.......technically speaking anyway. Just as she seemed to not like her own name, Julian despised his real one. The only people who actually used it or knew what it was were his family, and for a couple seconds, those around him on the off chance his sister would call him loudly in public. created by ADE!

Elizza scoffed as he called her sweetheart. She thought a moment looking out at the ocean, thinking of when he could show her around. It really didn't matter to her much, so she shrugged and said, "Whenever, soon I guess. I don't know." She let out a slight laugh as she spoke. She couldn't help but smile back at him in wonder of why he would come down to the beach alone. And who knew! He could probably have a class right now for all she knew. However, Elizza was glad someone in that school came to the beach for the pleasure of it. Might as well take advantage of the fact it's so close to the school.

Elizza frowned though still had a small smile planted on her face. "Nice to meet you too..... finally," she teased. It wasn't a name you hear too often. Moving her long hair to one shoulder, Elizza let out a breath. "So, why are you down here and not up there slumping over homework or something?" She raised an eyebrow at Julian and smirked.

The Words: 211 The Outfit: clicky The Notes XD......shorty........~IS LIKE A MELODY IN MY HEAD~ /shot Lyrics Love Me to Pieces- Eric Hassle Chuckling, amused by her indecisiveness, Julian waited patiently for her to get her thoughts about her, going back to leaning on his arms again. "Take all the time you need." He wasn't one to rush things. Actually he was the complete opposite. Unless it was something he was truly interested in he would never go chase it, and rather let it come to him. It made life easier that way.....and made people less uptight about it. At least that's what he found. It was the same with problems in his life. Though that was more of a tricky solution to them, and one that usually didn't work out so well for him. Julian smiled at her teasing, finding it adorable. And yes, he did mean adorable (:P). "I've got some free time on my hands, and needed to clear my head away from school," he replied honestly. "Besides, who would be crazy enough to not come down here and spend that free time?" he made it seem as if it were the obvious answer. "And I believe you're thinking of my sister. Unfortunately I haven't caught on to her busy-bodied.....ness?" he finished, unsure if that were even a word. "Or fortunately..." he shrugged. It didn't really matter to him. created by ADE!

Elizza nodded approvingly at his answer. Made perfect sense to her. She smiled slightly letting her eyes travel away from Julian as he continued to speak. Her smile disappeared gradually as she pulled her knees to her chest, setting her chin on them before responding. "Busy-bodiedness.... quite the word." She smirked somewhat and continued on, wondering a little about his sister. At first she had guessed she was older but she asked anyway. "Does your busy-bodied sister go here?"

Elizza thought of how it would be having her brother be around her own age and going to the same high school. Well, with the way he acted now she couldn't handle it. Then again, he would be more mature... right? She shook her head of the thought. She was away from home now, this is no place to be thinking of home, this was her freedom - being away from them.

The Words: 224 The Outfit: clicky The Notes Lol not true. The shortest would be a sentence ......or just a dot. Lyrics Love Me to Pieces- Eric Hassle Grinning at her, Julian put on a mock-dignified face. "Well I do try my best....yeah she does," he smiled. Sure the work load may be tough, and with the constant pressure to do well, but being with his sister made it all worth it. He honestly wouldn't know what he'd do with himself if he were at a different school in some remote state again without her. Well he did know what he'd do with himself, but he just didn't want to have to find out and experience it all over again. He stayed quiet, looking at her and trying to gauge what she was thinking about. She seemed just a tad unhappy, and there was a sadness to her. She also seemed to drift off a bit sometimes, a bit like him in that regard. He waited a few more moments before speaking again, though he didn't ask her what was on her mind. He guessed if she didn't voice it she didn't want it to be pried out of her, since she was bold with pretty much everything else. He sure wouldn't appreciate it if someone did that to him anyway. "So since you're obviously new here, from whereabouts are you from?" He was curious. Perhaps it was somewhere nearby, or far away if she was that enamored by the ocean. created by ADE!

Elizza giggled a bit at the comment. “Well, that's nice.” She didn't want to ask how he liked being in the same school as his sister, he seemed quite fond of her for the most part, so she left the thought alone. She bit the inside of her, which she did every so often, normally when she wasn't sure what to say. The silence, however, was nice not awkward like it was in need of conversation.

She didn't know what had come over her. Was she jealous by how close Julian might be with his sister? Probably, although Elizza wouldn't admit it. She kept reminding herself of all the faults in her life there were when she was with her family. Most of them revolving around herself, but that was problem after all. Elizza didn't feel she belonged in her family. Unless, of course, you shoved them all into a mirror. But she never felt the sense of home, it was always one thing after the other and it had been everything she liked or wanted. Elizza mentally shook her head free of yet again thoughts of her family.

Elizza finally looked back at Julian as he spoke. A smile instantly crossed her face as she answered. “Southern Cali. Coronado to be exact.” She laid on her back, her hair falling on the sand behind her. “I have to say it's absolutely gorgeous there. And I live right by the beach, so it's prefect.”
